Answer:

Divergent Evolution

Explanation:

Evolution it is the continuous adaptation of a species to its surroundings in order to better find food, shelter and mate. There are 2 general types of evolution, in this case two closely related organism are becoming increasingly different to adapt to the different environments where they live. This is called Divergent Evolution. The other type is called convergent evolution, where the opposite occurs, 2 different species develop similar features.

Answer:

Genetic drift

Explanation:

Genetic drift can also be referred to as allelic drift, it refers to the variation in allelic frequencies within a particular population over a period of time. It can also be referred to as the random fluctuations in the number of genotypes within a population. Genetic drift is not influenced by the environment and is usually more pronounced in a small population of organisms.

For example, a population of birds can consist of green feathers and blue feathers with the green feathers as the dominant allele, but as a result of random fluctuations, the offspring may all be with green feathers and hence could eliminate or reduce the allele responsible for blue feathers over time.

Which of the following describes a contribution of Native Americans to ecologists' understanding of interactions between humans

Three Worlds, Three Views: Culture and Environmental Change in the Colonial SouthTimothy Silver
Appalachian State University
©National Humanities Center
For nearly three hundred years before the American Revolution, the colonial South was a kaleidoscope of different people and cultures. Yet all residents of the region shared two important traits. First, they lived and worked in a natural environment unlike any other in the American colonies. Second, like humans everywhere, their presence on the landscape had profound implications for the natural world. Exploring the ecological transformation of the colonial South offers an opportunity to examine the ways in which three distinct cultures—Native American, European, and African—influenced and shaped the environment in a fascinating part of North America.
The Native American WorldLike natives elsewhere in North America, those in the South practiced shifting seasonal subsistence, altering their diets and food gathering techniques to conform to the changing seasons. In spring, a season which brought massive runs of shad, alewives, herring, and mullet from the ocean into the rivers, Indians in Florida and elsewhere along the Atlantic coastal plain relied on fish taken with nets, spears, or hooks and lines. In autumn and winter—especially in the piedmont and uplands—the natives turned more to deer, bear, and other game animals for sustenance. Because they required game animals in quantity, Indians often set light ground fires to create brushy edge habitats and open areas in southern forests that attracted deer and other animals to well-defined hunting grounds. The natives also used fire to drive deer and other game into areas where the animals might be easily dispatched.</span>

Why rapid binge drinking is more dangerous than slower consumption of alcohol?
Tpy6a [65]
The same way we never inject a full bag of anything quickly and intravenously. Your body would not be able to compensate for the amount of the substance. Alcohol or more importantly the Ethanol or Ethyl Alcohol in alcoholic beverages is the active ingredient of such beverages. It is also a drug called a CNS (Central Nervous System) depressant which means it is in the same class category of Opioids (Such as Heroin and Morphine) and Barbiturates (Rophynol). Your body processes alcohol via the liver, as it is also considered a toxin. By consuming a massive amount of alcohol without spacing it out, you will overload your system, not only literally overwhelming your liver and causing Alcohol Poisoning, but you also can go into a state similar to a Heroin overdose.
